Initially, participants were stratified into three groups according to the tertile levels of FABP4, followed by further categorization based on various lipid profiles and specific inflammatory markers.Results: On follow-up (median 751 days, maximum 1506 days), a total of 158 ischemic events were recorded. 1) In multivariable models meticulously adjusted for age, gender, traditional coronary heart disease factors, Killip classification, and discharge medications, the association of elevated levels of FABP4 (Tertile 3 HR 1.618 [1.061 to 2.468], p=0.026), augmented concentrations of PTX3 (Tertile 3 HR 1.811 [1.211 to 2.710], p=0.004), or LL-37 (Tertile 3 HR 0.651 [0.433 to 0.981], p=0.040) with ischemic risk was markedly intensified. 2) Multivariate HRs associated with 1 standard deviation (SD) (mg/dL) increase in the FABP4 parameters were as follows in different subgroups. 1-SD difference in FABP4 was associated with a 23%, 23%, 21 and 29% increase in ischemic events over after fully adjusted the confounding risk factors among male, patients with hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes respectively. 3) The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated significant differences between the tertiles of FABP4 index levels among all enrolled participants (p=0.0180).Conclusion: This study reinforces the utility of FABP4 for enhancing risk stratification specifically among older patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.Keywords: FABP4, lipid profile, PTX3, LL-37, ischemic vascular events
